Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very knowledgeable
Very knowledgeable about all aspects of health issues you might have. He gives you the time you need to ask questions and you never feel rushed. He treats you like a friend.

I have been going to Dr Shah since 1996..He is the best Dr. I would not go to any one eles. I also had a assisted Living Facility and he took great care of my patients. My whole family goes to him. He is always there for you if you have any needs. I highly recommend Dr Hemant Shah

Terrible Doctor!! Wouldn’t never recommend him!! My grandfather was in the hospital suffering for over two days. Countless times the staff of the hospital, and my family attempted to contact Dr Shah so that he can put the order in for Comfort Measures that way my grandfather wouldn’t suffer in his last moments of life. Dr Shah shut off his overnight phone services after we left several voicemails for him to contact us ASAP. We still didn’t receive a returning call from Dr Shah. In the mean time, my grandfather has been suffering. A few days ago, while my grandfather was still in the hospital, my mother called Dr Shah during the day to let him know that my grandfather is in the hospital and Shah needs to visit him. She explained to Shah what is going on and he literally said to my mother, “your father is 84 years old, how long do you expect him to live for?” Terrible bed side manor. Dr Shah doesn’t have the common sense, education, or compassion to be in the medical field.

Just had a 94 year old aunt, that has problems with her back and mind to see him, as this was her doctor. The niece that was taking care of her just passed away and there is no one else to do 24 hour care. Asked for his help in getting some care at home for her and he said, I don't have time for that, and prescribed some sleeping pills. YOU CALL this a doctor!

Dr. Shah is a very good doctor. Before joining him, I was having lot of medical issues and my previous doctor was not very helpful. But since I have been seeing him, I believe I am improving a lot. He always positively encourage me and motivate me for keeping good health. His office staff is very nice and always ready to help.I can make appointment with his office whenever I want. They always accommodate me as a walk-in. I will highly recommend him to anyone. Great doctor!

Dr. Shah is a phenomenal doctor. He takes the time to listen to others needs. He takes patients calls after hours on his cell phone and assist in any way he can. He has gone as far as helping a new patient that hadn't even been seen yet, just to assure the patient was medically cared for correctly. Little things like this make good doctors stand out! I recommend him to anyone that is needing health care. He runs his practice with the ability to cover all healthcare needs in one place!

Dr. Shah is a very rude individual. He is unkind to his staff, having brought many to tears in front of me. This is most likely there is a different one every visit. He talks more about himself in a visit then my issues, but only having switched to Humana, because they pay and my last insurance was only worth five minutes. AND HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. HE HAS A GOD COMPLEX AND WON'T SEND PATIENTS OUT TO SPECIALISTS BECAUSE IT TAKES MONEY OUT OF HIS POCKET.

I stood at the front desk for over ten minutes, no exaggeration. The woman behind the desk intentionally never looked directly at me and never acknowledged I was there. I finally just left.

Dr Shah has a kind and generous heart. In a medical emergency, he's strong and takes charge. He's always courteous, friendly and most of all willing to listen. I trust his judgement. He clearly explains all the patients' medical options. For that a lone I'd say he's a remarkable man and physician.

When I went to see Dr. Shah about a week ago and I was amazed how warm the staff was. As I walked into the office I was greeted with a warm smile and Hello. I was promptly called back by a very peppy Medical Assistant named Mary who was very knowledgeable and made me laugh. When Dr. Shah came into the office he went over every one of my concerns one-by-one. I am very happy to call Dr. Shah my new Primary Care Physician.
